The voices of the choir and the prayers of people in the pews once again are reverberating in Duke Chapel. After more than fourteen months of services via livestream, the Chapel held its first in-person service on the Day of Pentecost.
While celebrating this development in the life of the Chapel, the latest issue of Chapel View magazine also looks back at the past year when Chapel traditions such as the Student Preacher, Spring Oratorio, Jazz Vespers, and the end-of-year tower climb adapted and continued during difficult circumstances. We hear from Chapel community members—students, staff, choir members, and community partners—about the pandemic year that brought sorrow and isolation as well as deep discernment and new milestones. We celebrate the service and leadership of National Advisory Board Chair Charles Berardesco, and also remember the beloved University Carillonneur Emeritus Samuel Hammond who died in February.
